What is the significance of uncoupling proteins in adipose tissue?
increased loss of body heat
Why does loosely packed leaves reduce heat loss?
?
What is water loss that is difficult to detect and measure is called?
diuresis
How does the body maintain a constant temperature?
In humans, a constant internal temperature is maintained by the balancing of metabolic heat with loss to the environment. The primary control center is the hypothalamus in the brain. To increase body temperature in cold conditions, the body can:increase metabolism in the mitochondria of cells (a specialized form of fat called brown fat is used when available)trigger increased activity of the muscles (shivering)constrict the arteries near the skin surfacestop the release of sweatcontract hair follicles to raise body hairs, trapping a warmer layer of air along the skinTo decrease body heat in warm conditions, the reverse processes occur : decreased metabolism, vasodilation (flushing), increased sweating to cool by evaporation, and relaxation of the hair follicles to expose the skin to the air. Heat loss can also be increased from the lungs by opening nasal passages.
What is the loss of carbon-fixing activity of the enzyme RuBP carboxylase directly proportional to?
heat
What is a of the heat loss from skin due to increased wind speed?
Wind chill
What is the significance of uncoupling proteins in adipose tissue?
increased loss of body heat
What is the difference between heat gain and heat loss?
These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.
Can a faulty breaker box increase your electric bill?
Yes, an old electrical device will begin to heat up due to a loose connection. Heat equals to loss of watts.And Watts equals to money spent. Increased heat also means an increased risk of fire.
Is precipitation heat loss or heat gain?
heat loss
How can we identify Hyper-thyroid ism?
Swollen glands, Goiter, Rapid weight loss, sweats or fever, sensitivity to heat and exercise. Labs may include:TSH (decreased)Free T4 (increased)Total T4 (increased)Free T3 (increased)Total T3 (increased)Antibodies (increased)
What is the fastest method of body heat loss?
In high temperatures there are several methods of body heat loss. One is metabolic heat loss, which is where the metabolism of the body produces heat which is increased in higher temperatures, this in turn produces heat loss. There is heat exchange which is where body heat is lost when making contact with a cooler object. Also conductive heat exchange allows the body to lose heat as coming cool, like water or air, move around the person. The body also uses radiant heat exchange which is where the blood is sent to the superficial arteries and veins to let off heat. Finally there is evaporative heat loss which is of course when a person sweats and as that sweat evaporates it takes body heat with it, thus in turn cooling the body down.
What are the advantages of superconductors?
Can carry large quanities of energy without heat loss and are able to generate strong magnetic fields. Superconductors beneficial applications in medical imaging techniques. New superconductive films may result in miniturisation and increased speed in computer chips.
A thermos bottle has a shiny interior What type of heat transfer does it prevent?
It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.
What are the cons of deforestation?
Deforestation leads to loss of biodiversity, contributes to climate change due to increased carbon dioxide emissions, and disrupts local ecosystems and habitats. It also increases the risk of natural disasters like flooding and landslides.
How does the thickness of loft insulation affect heat loss?
the thicker the insulation is then there will be less heat loss. The material also affects heat loss
What is heat absorption and loss?
heat gain is when an object get hotter. heat loss is when an object gets colder.
